Hi all,

I now this is a little off topic to Sonar, Dancing Dots and the usual
recording talk here, but I figured I would tap all the wizard brains here
anyway.

I need to do some recordings (and some live performances) with several
wwireless lapel mics. I want to be able to do up to 6 (or at worst case 5)
separate microphones simultaneou7sly. Is there a system like this out there?
Will I have to use a couple different 3 channel setups? I think I recently
saw some wireless stuff with 256 available channels, but it seemed there was
a limitation of two or three simultaneous mics.

I don't need music quality, but highest possible voice quality is required.

I want either the mic receiver/mixer to be able to feed a recording line
level input, and also I will use this for a PA feed.  It would be
spectacular if I could throttle back the output of the mic/receiver/mixer to
feed the mic input of a high quality camera like a Canon G2.

I need this for a Halloween presentation, so I want to start searching for
the right choice soon.

I'm guessing I'm going to have to pay some pretty hefty bucks for such a
system.  Don't consider the price when making any suggestions, but do send
along any ideas for *where* to buy this stuff. I was going to look at big
music stores like ZZounds or Musician's Friend. Let me know if you know a
specific place to get the system and mics.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.  Please feel free to answer directly to
john@xxxxxxxxx privately if the list is the wrong place for this kind of
thread.

John
